CAMDEN PROPERTY TRUST ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2018 OPERATING RESULTS,
Houston, Texas (May 3, 2018) - Camden Property Trust (NYSE:CPT) announced today operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders (“EPS”), Funds from Operations (“FFO”), and Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”) for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are detailed below. A reconciliation of EPS to FFO is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

| Same Property Results | 1Q18 |

|
| Occupancy | 95.4 | % | 94.7 | % | 95.7 | % |
“We are pleased to report another quarter of strong performance, with same property growth and FFO per share slightly better than anticipated,” said Richard J. Campo, Camden’s Chairman and CEO. “We now expect 2018 same property NOI growth to be 2.7% at the midpoint of our guidance range, compared to our original outlook of 2.5%, primarily as a result of lower than expected operating expenses during the first quarter. Camden’s 2018 guidance for FFO per share is unchanged, as the slight improvement in our outlook for same property NOI is offset by revised assumptions regarding the timing of additional 2018 acquisitions and initial occupancy at one of our new development communities.”
The Company defines same property communities as communities owned and stabilized since January 1, 2017, excluding communities under redevelopment and properties held for sale. A reconciliation of net income to NOI and same property NOI is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.
Development Activity
During the quarter, construction was completed at Camden Shady Grove in Rockville, MD. Subsequent to
quarter-end, leasing began at Camden McGowen Station in Houston, TX and Camden North End I in Phoenix, AZ.

(a) Upon our adoption of the new revenue standard ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018, we are now presenting certain revenue items historically included as a component of other property revenues as rental revenues due to the nature and timing of revenue recognition for these items being more closely aligned to a lease. This new presentation has been applied prospectively as this reclassification will not have an impact upon total property revenues. Approximately $5.6 million of rental revenue is related to this presentation for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Had ASU 2014-09 been effective as of January 1, 2017, we would have reclassified approximately $5.3 million from other property revenues to rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

| | | (In thousands, except per share amounts) |

(Unaudited)
This document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures management believes are useful in evaluating an equity REIT's performance. Camden's definitions and calculations of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other REITs, and thus may not be comparable. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating performance, or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
FFO
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) currently defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP")), excluding gains (or losses) associated with the sale of previously depreciated operating properties, real estate depreciation and amortization, impairments of depreciable assets, and adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Our calculation of diluted FFO also assumes conversion of all potentially dilutive securities, including certain non-controlling interests, which are convertible into common shares. We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions of operating properties, and depreciation, FFO can assist in the comparison of the operating performance of a company’s real estate investments between periods or to different companies. A reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO is provided below:
Adjusted FFO
In addition to FFO, we compute Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") as a supplemental measure of operating performance. AFFO is calculated utilizing FFO less recurring capital expenditures which are necessary to help preserve the value of and maintain the functionality at our communities. Our definition of recurring capital expenditures may differ from other REITs, and there can be no assurance our basis for computing this measure is comparable to other REITs. A reconciliation of FFO to AFFO is provided below:

Expected FFO
Expected FFO is calculated in a method consistent with historical FFO, and is considered an appropriate supplemental measure of expected operating performance when compared to expected earnings per common share (EPS). Guidance excludes gains, if any, on properties not currently held for sale due to the uncertain timing and extent of property dispositions and the resulting gains/losses on sales. A reconciliation of the ranges provided for diluted EPS to expected FFO per diluted share is provided below:

Net Operating Income (NOI)
NOI is defined by the Company as total property income less property operating and maintenance expenses less real estate taxes. NOI is further detailed in the Components of Property NOI schedules on page 11 of the supplemental. The Company considers NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance to net income attributable to common shareholders because it reflects the operating performance of our communities without allocation of corporate level property management overhead or general and administrative costs. A reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to net operating income is provided below:

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, including net operating income from discontinued operations, excluding equity in (income) loss of joint ventures, (gain) loss on sale of unconsolidated joint venture interests, gain on acquisition of controlling interest in joint ventures, gain on sale of operating properties including land, net of tax, loss on early retirement of debt and income (loss) allocated to non-controlling interests. The Company considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance to net income attributable to common shareholders because it represents income before non-cash depreciation and the cost of debt, and excludes gains or losses from property dispositions. A reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to Adjusted EBITDA is provided below:
